"The forthcoming new addition to Army's mechanized battalions, Granatkastarpansarbandvagn 90, was shown on Thursday in Boden"

Is that a CV90 with twin 120mm mortar with a funky muzzle loading mechanism that make it look like 4 barrels?

[Lord_James]

Next year, they’re going to make a damn 6 barrel mortar, cause they can’t stop slapping guns on the CV90.

Is the new quad mortar system still autoloaded like the originally planned twin-barrel AMOS?

The quad mortar is based on the Mjolner, not AMOS, as I understand, and is thus manually loaded.

 

It's also worth noting that the "turret" of the Mjolner has no basket, and rotates only 60 degrees in azimuth (+30 to -30? or +60 to -60?), which otherwise could be dangerous for the crew. 

Short explanation and video here: https://www.baesystems.com/en/product/mjolner

 

IMO, not a good idea for the system at all, and the same blunder they did with the Archer.

Yes.

[Serge]

Mjolner was designed for an Army which thinks MRSI capability is top priority, well above all. So, if it can’t purchase an AMOS like solution because of its outrageous cost, it will call for something very basic but with twins barrels.

This reminds me of something from Warhammer 40k

Chinese SPG, for export

Apperently same/similar/domestic version of this SPG is used in PLA

Nano-SVK in the field

[LoooSeR]

North Korea during parade showed new SPG (unknown name) and new ATGM carrier (unknown type of ATGMs and no name).

   Those are really big ATGMs, if they actually exist, then those are not Fagot/Konkurs/Kornet copies. Also, i don't see any guidance system (like Shturm-S and Khriantema or Kornet-D/Kornet-EM have), no optics. Could it be some sort of NLOS system? Maybe they just bought ALAS from Serbia or something?

Unknown new NK SPG

And they still felt compelled to slap it with Dual AGLs and MANPADS.

They did that with another SPG

Photos from February parade

Compared to yesterday version there are small changes in turret - new cover above gun and 2 storage boxes on turret front (i think).

   On this video you can see that North Koreans have ATGM with videofeed system. Although it is launched from helicopter, i suspect that same type of ATGM is used here. North Korean Spike NLOS/AFT-10/ALAS

That moment when you realize that North Koreans have 4th gen ATGM and Russia don't have 3rd.

Looked like they were manually flying a top attack profile on that shot

Maybe, that video was from ATGM testing, which took place as far as i heard several months ago. Although that doesn't cure my back end.

 

Glory to Best Korea! Best Korea can into ATGMs! From wimpy Fagot copies on Chonma-216s to Spike NLOS in one heroic step of True Korea!
